“The greatest hazard in life is to risk NOTHING.”

“To laugh is to risk appearing a fool. To weep is to risk being called sentimental. To place your ideas and dreams before a crowd is to risk their loss…To love is to risk not being loved in return... To try is to risk failure. But risks must be taken. Because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing.”

“The adventure of life is to learn. The purpose of life is to grow. The nature of life is to change. The challenge of life is to overcome. The essence of life is to care. The opportunity of like is to serve. The secret of life is to dare. The spice of life is to befriend. The beauty of life is to give.”

“A life lived without forgiveness is a prison.”

“Gratitude can transform common days into thanksgivings, turn routine jobs into joy, and change ordinary opportunities into blessings.”

“Before you act, listen. Before you react, think.Before you spend, earn.Before you criticize, wait.Before you pray, forgive.Before you quit, try.”

“Today is a most unusual day, because we have never lived it before; we will never live it again; it is the only day we have.”
